Marking Her (Marked #1 Series)
Talan Cox wants to mark Maya--with more than his ink. The owner of a prominent tattoo shop, he's used to being hit on by easy women. Though "easy" is not a word associated with Maya when she comes in to support her friend. Flirtation ensues, but what will it take to break the painted man?

Marking Him (Marked #2 Series)
The day Maya Owens walked into his tattoo shop, everything Talan knew changed.
After officially starting a relationship, he is now having trouble managing Maya--a woman who consumes every part of his being and owns his heart. His need to control her and everything around her drives Maya insane, but he has good reason. After all, Janice is still lurking around and she has a vendetta against his Bitty.

Scars (#2.5 Marked Series)

Abandoned.
Thrown away.
Invisible.

Every single one of those could be used to describe me. They can tell you my story--my sad past--without a single syllable passing through my lips.

I hate them--those who lied to me. They claimed to love me, but in reality they used me when convenient. My parents. Sister. And now Talan. Loving them has left me empty.

Marked (Marked #3 Series)

"With everything I am. I'll always be by your side."

It was his truth.

A vow Talan made to the woman who owned him. Because that is what Maya did to him; she held his entire life in her hands. He lived for her smile...her happiness, and now someone has dimmed that light in her eyes with their malice.

How does a man so completely in love with his female react to seeing her in a hospital bed and broken?

He fights. Goes against all logic and seeks vengeance.

BE CAREFUL OF YOUR CHOCIES IN THE NOW!..YOU NEVER KNOW HOW THEY CAN AFFECT YOUR FUTURE!

NOVEMBER 30, 2015 | BUTTONS86 | EDIT

I was given a ARC of the Marked box set by Elena M. Reyes for a honest review!

If you are looking for a great series to keep you warm this winter then look no further! This series is full of steam. I loves the characters in these books. You have Talan Cox, a hott tattoo artist with his own yummy tattoos. He is a real badass dominant. He is the guy you will want to look after you. I don’t know how many times I swooned reading these books. He is not the relationship type till he meets Maya! She is sassy and just what Talan needed in his life. Some one to keep him on his toes. I laughed so much at these two characters and fell in love with them and their friends.

They don’t get a perfect story! They are faced with jealous ex lover of Talans, Janice!  It turns scary and ugly very quickly. I mean I hated this girl! I felt just as angry and scared as the characters did but then reading her book, I felt really sorry for her. My heart hurt for her life and what she is dealing with. It made me hope she gets something good in life soon.

Do not pass up these books! You will be missing out on such a wonderful romance.

Loved this boxed set! I have read it twice now and I must say that I loved the additions that Elena has added to what was already a great box set. If you love some hot, alpha, tattooed men then you will love these books. I was always wondering when the crazy chick was going to appear and what craziness she'd be up to next. I loved seeing the relationship between Talan and Maya along with the other characters in the book. This book had a great story line that will have you absolutely hooked and on edge. I really, really can't wait for the next books in this series. The whole time I was reading this I was thinking to myself how much I wanted Simon & Lance's books and I was thrilled to see they will be getting them and of course more of Talan and Maya!!!

You have Maya who is a college student. She is a short, sassy woman who has Talan wrapped around her little finger from the moment she walked into his shop. She is insanely attracted to Talan but doesn't want to be another notch on his bedpost so she doesn't fall for his charms immediately but there is something about Talan that draws her in.

Then you have Talan who is the owner of his tattoo shop. He is constantly getting hit on and is tired of the easy girls that he comes in contact with. Then Maya walks into his shop and she's different. She's mouthy and doesn't take his crap. He wants something more with her but he's not sure how to go about it since that is not his standard MO.

What happens when someone he was with once is determined to be his? How far will she go to make Talan hers? Will Talan finally take the plunge and make him and Maya official or will he keep going slow? Will Maya be able to handle his alpha, possessive ways?

This is a must read box set. I love box sets because than you don't have to wait for the next and you definitely won't want to wait to read the next. Let's not forget also the wonderful job that Elena has done with these books. I was absolutely hooked not only the first time I read this but the second as well and that is a feat in itself.

This series took me on a crazy and highly entertaining ride as I experienced Talan and Maya's love story.

In "Marking Her" we get introduced to our two main characters, their friends, and our villain Janice. We get just enough of the pieces to be drawn in and hooked, needing to know what comes next. "Marking Him" picks up right were book one left off. Giving us more insight into Maya and Talan, letting us see their relationship evolve a bit, giving us more of Janice and her special blend of crazy and leaving us with quite the shocking end. "Scars" gives us a look into the inner workings of the villain's mind. While it may not be the first I've heard of a story showing the bad guy's point of view, I'm glad in this case there was a whole story dedicated to it. Finally in "Marked" we get to pick up where book 2 and 2.5 left off. We get to see what comes next and how it gets resolved.

These books are definitely not what I would consider standalone stories. You will be missing elements of the story if you jump in without start with book one. But starting from the beginning is absolutely worth it. This story had all the elements I love. A loveable hero with a dirty mouth, protective nature, and sexy behaviors. A heroine who can hold her own both against the outside world and her man. Friends of the H and h that you can like and who add to the story instead of being an unnecessary distraction. And a bad Guy (girl) who has depth and a real story instead of being just needlessly evil.

There was plenty of steam in this series, at times it was a bit much. I found myself having to occasionally speed through some scenes as it seemed too repetitive to want to spend too much time on. But the romance, the strong writing, and the interesting plot had the pages turning quickly and had me enjoying this story overall. Definitely one I would recommend. And as a bonus, the full series includes some extra content to enjoy.

Oh Holy Hotness Batman! I freakin LOVE LOVE LOVE this series. Not going to lie though, Elena M. Reyes has made the list of authors trying to kill me! Still trying to figure why the author is so mean!

We begin in Marking Her. The day tattoo artist, Talan Cox meets Maya Owens, is the day he's off of the market, although he still argues with himself about that fact. He's dying to mark her with more than just his ink. Maya Owens is an independent woman that isn't a hook up kind of girl. She's full of sass, and unleashes it when she meets Talon. There's an instant connection, but she won't go fast. In Marking Him, Maya and Talan are starting the relationship journey officially. He's over the top controlling her as he's trying to keep her safe from an unhinged past hook up of his, but he's driving her nuts. Quickly Talan wants more, but Maya wants to slow it down a bit so it gets very complicated. Will they make it through all the bumps in the road together? Abandoned is crazy Janice's POV. She's convinced that it's Maya's fault that her whole life is destroyed. And she's determined to get her revenge.

WOW! I read this set in one sitting, as I couldn't get enough. But now I find myself quite pissed as I NEED THAT THIRD BOOK NOW! The character development is great, and all the secondaries are so fantastic that they need their own stories. Story line is exciting, hot, and well written while flowing perfectly. Elena M. Reyes kept me on the edge of my seat cover to cover with all the twists flying everywhere. My heart felt like it was going to pound right out of my chest even after I finished it. The chemistry flew out of my kindle, so the sexy scenes are full on SMOKIN' HOT panty melting goodness that shouldn't be read in a public place. The cliff hanger ending had me howling like a banshee, and a few f-bombs to boot, so the next book CANNOT get here soon enough! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Review by : Jennifer
Marking Her: 4 stars
Marking Him: 4 stars
Scarred: 3 stars
Marked: 3 stars
Boxset: 3.75 stars

Marking Her
Talon knows upon meeting Maya that she is going to be his. She is perfect, everything he wants. But when Maya says lets take this slow.... Talon will do anything he can to make sure she is his, so he gives her slow. But will his slow be too slow for Maya?
I find myself eager for the next book, thank god for this box set. This would have really made me crazy if I had to wait for the next book. So far this is looking really good, and omg this has some sexual tension and a scene that makes you need to fan yourself! 4 stars.

Marking Him
The second of the Marked Series, finds Talon and Maya after they finish taking it "slow". Talon is in love with Maya and knows that he just needs to get his mark on her. Maya is dealing with all her school stuff, plus helping Talon when she can, it seems they don't have much time together. Add to all that stress, Janice makes her appearance every once in a while, and has started texting threats to Maya. Will all this be too much for Maya? Can Talon protect what's his?
This was a bit longer then the first book, and really just took you for the ride that is a relationship, the ups and downs, ins and outs. The meeting of the parents and all that jazz. By the end of book 2 we can totally see the love they have for the other, this had sexy times for the majority of the book, with a bit of drama, and violence. I give this a 4.

Scarred
This is 2.5 novella from Janice's standpoint. This tells us how she grew up, and the workings of her crazy mind. Makes you feel a bit bad for her. IMO this wasn't really worth reading, maybe I read to many MC stories where I don't want to humanize the "bad person". This was 3 stars.

Marked
This is the story of the aftermath. How everyone deals with Maya's attack. Can the two actually keep their relationship going and move on from this? At one point I didn't see that happening. Does Maya actually get herself back? Attacks like this take a toll on a person. Everyone is trying to figure out, do they help Janice or condemn her. I found that some bits seemed to drag out while other times stuff was just sort of skipped over. This ended being just an ok read for me, so this is a 3 star.


Now for the whole box set, girl meets boy, boy falls into insta lust with girl, she the same. There is a bit of hard to get, and going slow. I felt that some things were..... IDK glazed over a bit, but one thing is for sure, the sexy times scenes were not. I know this is a romance, but there was a point where they were just always all over each other. There is no question about Talon being an alpha, not one bit. I loved the side characters they brought a lot to the story. All in all lots of sex, drama, some laughs, a bit of violence, this was an ok read and I give it 3.75 stars.

This boxed set is chock full of everything you could want: tattooed alpha bad boy, feisty girl who rocks his world, cast of adorable friends and family, and some really intense characters bent on tearing them apart.

In Marking Her, we meet gruff, overbearing, heart of gold Talan, and his new relationship to Maya, lovingly called "Bitty". The hotness, the cat and mouse, the snark, the sexual tension leaps from the pages, I dug in and couldn't put it down! You discover foreboding threats, as they begin their journey that kept me glued for an entire weekend. Nothing is hotter than a sinfully sexy bad boy determined to not get in a relationship and being brought to his knees by an intense, strong woman.

"That itty-bitty woman owned me. I set out to mark her, and she ended up marking me, from the inside out."

In Marking Him, you continue right where you leave off in Book 1, and sit transfixed as Talan and Maya fall hard for each other. Completely hot and dirty, yet sweetly romantic, and playful. They are fiercely intense, earth shattering, can't-get-enough of each other.

"I will need you always, and make no mistake, Talan. The moment we met, I was marked by you. You etched yourself into my heart and under my skin. I could never walk away."

This is where you really get to know the characters, and at least I fell in love with them completely in this story. This group loves hard, and is fiercely loyal, and highly entertaining, but come together to battle an outside threat that comes to fruition. Bonds are tested, and the outcome is perfect.

In Scars , you meet a dangerous, unhinged, and completely psychotic woman that you've only seen as an observer in previous books. This is her story, and it is epic. It lends a fabulous and much needed layer to the story that was woven in other points of view previously. It gives you insight to the mechanics of a mad woman and Reyes did a fantastic job with it. It was like watching an orchestrated train wreck, and it filled in a great portion of the stories from Book 1 and 2.

In Marked, this was secretly my favorite. You witness the fall-out from all that has happened, stressing the bond between Talan and Maya. You watch as they struggle, fall, and attempt to get back to each other, and as a reader, I felt how incredibly deep their love ran.

"Nice and slow-hard and fast-we always held the same intensity. Craved each other without any preconceived notions of what we should be. We just were. A man and a woman consumed by the other's love"

The ending was a perfect way to wrap up the set! All in all, even if you have already read the series, the outtakes are worth the purchase. They were so fun, and a great glimpse into these great characters that I fell in love with and can't wait to see again. Fantastic Series, and I loved voluntarily reviewing a copy!!

Marked boxed set contains the entire Marked series by Elena M. Reyes. Holy Cow is this an amazing series. The series starts us off with Marking Her. In Marking Her, we get to meet Talan. He is the owner of the tattoo shop where he meets Maya. Right from the beginning we instantly know that Talan is 100% Alpha and so so yummy. Bad boy to the core. At the first meeting with Maya and Talan, there is instant chemistry. However, they both fought the attraction to each other, which made the first book so good. I needed to read the second book immediately after Marked.

Marking Him is the second book in the series. This book gives us a whole lot more of Talan and Maya. Their relationship continues to grow. While Talan and Maya are building their relationship, outside influences are working against them. Despite the obstacles, we are treated with Talan and Maya on a whole other level with their dirty and gritty love.

Scars was a very interesting book. We get to see everything from an alternate POV. The main character in this book is totally off her rocker. She is cray cray to the 13th degree and is out for revenge. Scars gives us a cohesive picture into the mind of someone that was a part of the prior books, but only on the fringe. Scars turns the lives of Talan and Maya upside down. A roller coaster ride that leaves us needing more.

Marked is the last book in the series. This book gives us the closure. All of the prior books lead up to Marked. This book gave me agita. I was so stressed out while I read Marked. I needed to know how the three prior books would work out into Marked. I NEEDED to see how Talan and Maya would work out what was done to them. Two words...... Loved It!

The Marked Box Set was a fabulous read. I could not put down this entire series until I was done with all four books. Ms. Reyes gives us such an intimate insight into these two characters. Talan and Maya are so easy to read and like that you want to continue on with their story. I wish there was more to read. So Good.

This is the first time I’ve read this author’s work, and boy oh boy can she write a hot story! I found this series very entertaining and well written. Marking Her (Marked 1) and Marking Him (Marked 2) focus on Talan and Maya’s story with a bit of crazy Janice and Brian on the side. Which leads into Marked 2.5, Janice’s story, the third book in the series.

This guy...Talan is one dirty talking alpha male! I laughed a lot, swooned a lot, and was kept on the edge of my seat. He’s not used to being under a woman’s spell...but that all changes when meets Maya. She is a feisty little thing and I loved her sense of humor and how she brings this tall, tattooed bad boy to his knees.

The sexy scenes were definitely panty melting. There’s nothing I love more than a naughty boy and Talan fits that label to a T. I would have liked to have seen more of a rich story line, but it was still an entertaining read. Other than that, I quite enjoyed Talan and Maya’s steamy love story. The cliffhanger though! Jesus! I want to find out what will happen with these two next!

Janice’s story continues in the third book of this box set. Scars (Marked 2.5) is about the jilted ex who feels abandoned, thrown away and invisible. Talan and Maya have made her feel unworthy and now she’s going to make them pay. Uhh...she’s nuts, but I found it a very interesting read. I enjoyed being taken into Janice’s warped mind. I actually felt bad for her. Great short read and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens with all of these characters next!

5 Crazy Ass Must Read Stars!!!!!

Here are a few suggestions before you start reading this box set:

1) find a cozy spot preferably alone (you don't want to get interrupted)
2) grab a glass of wine or whatever beverage you prefer to relax and unwind
3) if possible light the fireplace or grab a blanket (don't worry you won't need it for long)
4) Make sure to keep a extra pair of panties handy because you will them (hence why you won't need the blanket or fire very long)

This was freaking HOT! I don't know who's story I enjoyed the most because they were all good. This is the perfect read to keep you warm and horny, ohi mean toasty, on a cold winter's day.

Marked Box Set is full of passion, intrigue and suspense.
Talon Cox is one incredibly hot alpha male. He owns his own tattoo shop and the minute he sets his eyes on Maya he knows he wants to give her his mark. Maya(Bitty) is a fiesty college student.
Their meeting is intense; their relationship is scorching. Talon and Bitty were awesome in this trilogy.
I liked the secondary characters as well. This is the first story I have read from this author and I can say I will be reading more of her stories.

Everything about Maya called to me. She dominated my fantasies in more than one way; I’d never wanted to mark another’s flesh like I did Maya’s. To leave my stamp of ownership on that tight little body for the world to see would be the sweetest pleasure.

This is the first time I've read from this author, and it won't be my last. This box set is about Talan, and Maya aka bitty . Talan, pure alpha , owner of a tattoo shop , never into dating did the one night stands , and hung out with his buddies from the shop until bitty walked into his shop and into his life. We get to see as there at times too slow relationship develops , causing some over the top sexual frustration, teasing, and Talan going into very possessive, jealous, rages at times.

“Quit it,” I snapped then pushed my c**k between her thighs. “It will be my hands, mouth, or c**k that will give you what you want. The longer it takes for that to sink in, the more pain you’ll be in.”

Bitty a bit younger than Talan , studying to become a marine biologist, causes any enemy right from the start. A very jealous one night stand , Janice, Talan's receptionist , starts on Maya right away , and later things get much worse ending her employment at Talon's shop. She's overly obsessed believing she and Talan are together. The woman is a real piece of work.
As the stories edge on so do the love blossoming between the couple, friendships, the steamy scenes, a solid plot, and the ending.
I thought the author did a great job tying everything all up together, and I really enjoyed the bonuses as well!

If you only ever have the chance to choose and read ONE book in your lifetime.. make it this boxed set!!

I couldn't put it down.. once I started with Talan, that's where my days and nights were at... omg. Drool worthy.. Page melting.. this series is epic as hell!

Talan runs his own tattoo shop and has a couple of his best buds working with him in the shop. He seems to think life is going well.. he can get laid when he wants, he's got his shop, his friends, sassy gal pals surround him... and then... Maya saunters through his front door on the heels of her friend Esther.

Maya is a hell-on-wheels firecracker that Talan loves at first sass!

Together they work through the challenges of daily life.. as he runs his shop and gets busy.. and she is a young university student who also has dreams and aspirations.. can they find time to be together... time to grow.. time to just be them.. without interruptions?

They've both got a past.. and Talan has a present that is threatening to tear them apart.. but will they let it? Can they make it through?

This box set is mostly about Talan and Maya - but you totally get to know the other guys and gals who make Cox Tattoos their main hangout as well. Can NOT WAIT for more of these fabulous people! There's a little bit of everything within these pages and you won't be disappointed!

This is The Marked series all in one complete box set and it is Talon and Maya's story and omg it takes you n quite a journey. When Talon and Maya meet at his tattoo shop there is instant chemistry between them but as the story unfolds there are many twists and turns along with some difficult situations and you have to keep reading to see what would happen and and it was so addictive. The characters and storyline pulled you in right from the first page and I couldn't put it down. This is the first time that I have read anything by Elena M Reyes but definitely not the last and I can't wait to read more of her books in the future.

I feel like Elena got inside my head and knew exactly the kind of books/series my dark little heart wanted.

I admit that Talan will help me sleep good tonight. His alpha sexiness just calls to me. Him and Maya have the creepy kind of crazy to deal with. I read these books in one sitting because good golly are they amazing.

Elena wrote each scene to have you in the moment. You could feel the extremes in the characters. Taste the whisky, feel the power behind the emotions be it good, bad or just plain cray cray, your heartbeat pick up, your breath hitch...you get the picture.

Definitely recommend reading. Just have a quiet place and a good cool drink. I received an ARC for an honest and voluntarily review.

This collection gives you the full story of the hard as nails tattoo artist and the woman who softened him up.
Maya was just there as support but the big burly tattoo artist was to irresistible. But Talon has a problem, he has no room for commitment and Maya has commitment practicley written all over her. So he ways his options. Taking a chance and diving head first Talon falls hard. But he has a past that is lurking in the shadows and she does not like what she is seeing.
Talon sees her and starts to prepare himself for the fallout only Maya is caught in the line of fire and that is not acceptable. But is he to late?

Whoaaaa Talan has and appointment with one of the regulars, who brings her friend a long for the ride. Maya is a small ball of fire, that Talan immediately names Bitty. But someone in the shop is having none of it, when she see's the sparks flying between them. Janice is an employee, who Talen spent one night with. But Janice wasn't getting the whole one night stand blah blah. She had her hooks digging in. When things take a turn for the worse Janice is fired and that's where the trouble begins over and over. Talan just wants to keep his woman safe, but he's become obsessive with it, and Bitty feels a bit stifled. But there is so much danger, people are getting hurt physically and emotionally. Such a fantastic edge of the seat story!

[CS · Rating 3 out of 5]

This boxed set started out so well with older alpha hottie Talon and his growing attraction and obsession with his little “Bitty”, Maya.
Lots of steamy build up with this passionate couple as they work through their busy schedules for their well deserved HEA.
I didn’t like the extended drama after drama with crazy ex Janice that went on an on throughout each book to the end. Bits of other crazy drama with Maya’s classmate just added to my frustration.
I would have enjoyed a more fitting closure to Janice’s cray cray behavior.

This boxset includes the full story between Talan and Maya. It’s nice to have it all in one place. Talon is a talented tattoo artist who is currently doing,a tattoo on Maya's best friend and that is how they met. Talon is smitten immediately and this is enough to put Maya in the crosshairs of the angry receptionist who’s had her sights set on him for a long time. They have their one night, but that just started Talon’s obsession with her. Of course, the closer Talon becomes to Maya the more out of control Janice becomes.

Ms. Reyes, you have me hooked on your books, especially this series. I need more which we gave already discussed.

This book called me because of the craziness and the stalker vibe. These are my type of books. The story was insta lust but was not a quick decision to be together. Talon was a sexy possessive tattoo artist. Maya was a take no crap type of girl. These two were made for each other honestly. Talon and Maya balanced each other out. You have to read the books in order. I loved the fact that we get to read Jan's point of view. That girl was 100% crazy and I loved it. I of course didnt pull for her but she kept the story interesting. I can't wait for books in this series.

Talan and Maya’s story told by this author is attention getting and holding. Her characters are all well developed, strong and memorable. Her world building and character portrayal are impeccable. I loved the dialogue between Talan and Maya in that they each tried to hold their own and did do a good job. Inevitably, there is a psychotic character and a stalker to keep the action going. Even a point of view from the psycho! Definitely an amazing read and all in one boxed set.

This is a great collection. The books are about Talan and Maya, how they met and the relationship that follows. Talan seems a bit controling but that is because of Janice. Janice is crazy and is out for revenge and Maya seems to be caught up in the drama. These books are a collection for continuing stories. They should be read in order and this is a wonderful collection. This wil keep you intersted until the very end.

Super possessive alpha male!!!

This series was really freaking good!
Maya could be annoying at times due to her young age, but I abso-FREAKING-lutely LOVED TALAN!!
Her was an awesome specimen of possessive alpha male to the core!
He freaking loved and worshiped the ground that girl walked on and was a bada** to boot!!
I definitely recommend this series and will be looking into reading more of Elena M. Reyes books....

This was a great series. Elena M. Reyes did a great job on the stories. The plots and characters were strong, the stories were packed with many emotions. Talan and Maya were two people that were made for each other. Their journey may have had it's ups and downs but they had a strong connection that drew them together. The chemistry between them was off the charts, it was sexy, they were great together.
I enjoyed this box set, this was a great story.
Thank you, Elena M. Reyes. Great work :)
